Research Infrastructures

At Forschungszentrum Jülich, scientists have access to state-of-the-art instruments and large-scale facilities. Some of these, such as the supercomputers or the neutron scattering instruments, are used by teams of scientists from all over the world – experts at Jülich provide them with professional advice and support. Some of the infrastructures listed are scientific institututes of Forschungszentrum Jülich.

Ernst Ruska-Centre (ER-C) for Microscopy and Spectroscopy with Electrons

The Ernst Ruska-Centre (ER-C) is a centre of excellence for atomic resolution electron microscopy and spectroscopy at the highest international level.

Helmholtz Nano Facility (HNF)

The HNF is a cleanroom facility with 1000 square metres of cleanroom class ISO 1-3 space. Its scientists offer expert knowledge, and the facility provides resources for the production, synthesis, characterisation and integration of nanoscale structures, devices and circuits.

Imaging Core Facility (ICF)

A wide range of imaging techniques at the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine (INM) are brought together in the Imaging Core Facility (ICF). These include various top-class instruments that provide insights into the brain.

Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC)

The Jülich Supercomputing Centre provides high-end computing capacity to scientists at the Forschungszentrum Jülich, universities and research institutions within Germany and in Europe, as well as industry.

Cooler synchrotron (COSY)

The COSY cooler synchrotron at the Forschungszentrum Jülich Institute of Nuclear Physics provides proton and deuteron beams with a magnetic rigidity of between one and 11 Tm, and is available for in-house and external experiments for basic research purposes. The particle beams can be cooled as required to increase the beam quality. Individual polarisation states may also be implemented.

SAPHIR and SAPHIR-PLUS

The SAPHIR atmospheric simulation chamber enables reproducible investigations into precisely defined atmospheric-chemical mechanisms. This makes it possible to reconstruct and investigate processes at play in the atmosphere.

Biomolecular NMR Centre

In conjunction with the Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf, the Forschungszentrum runs a research platform for biomolecular ultra-high field spectroscopy. The Biomolecular NMR Centre brings together a range of top-level NMRs, including a 900 Mhz NRM spectrometer.
